Remain positive everyone. Cutler will work his ass off to get back and will pressure staff to let him back on the field earlier.

 

Sweet, he can be ready for the playoff game we don't play in. Have you seen Dallas's schedule the rest of the year?

 

Well, Theo insists the next 3 games are actually byes so the Bears are fine.

 

we may essentially be the tebows without the tebows.

I'd like to think the Bears sans QB are better than the Broncos sans QB.

We have 7 wins, 10 should get you in. We have a guarunteed win at home against the Chiefs. Possibly the Vikings without AD. The seahawks at home. Sorry if I'm not throwing in the season.

If the deadline wasn't gone I'd throw out a 4th or 5th rounder to Denver for Orton.

 

Now THAT would be funny.

no, orton would be dead in this offense.

 

He could be the difference maker in getting the Bears one more win. And that could get you in the playoffs.

The Christmas Day game just became much less interesting, but the remaining games on the schedule are all winnable. That means the Bears just need Hanie to lead them to 3 wins out of 5 games against the Raiders, Chiefs, Broncos, Seahawks, and Vikings. That is certainly do-able.

Only one team gets in from the NFC East.

 

I just said this in the other thread, but Dallas has a schedule that can easily allow them to finish 5-1 to bring them to 11-5. If that were to happen and the Bears were able to finish 3-3 to go 10-6, the Giants would have to go 3-4 the rest of the year (including tonight) for the Bears to make the playoffs. The Falcons could also go 5-1 the rest of the year with their schedule too and finish ahead of us.

 

It's gonna be very tough unless we somehow manage to go 4-2. Even if you assume the last 2 home games are victories (KC, SEA), you are going to have to go 2-2 on the road @ Oakland, Denver, Green Bay and Minnesota. I was already thinking next week was a possible loss, and now it seems likely, and theres no way we are beating GB in GB unless they are resting starters. So the season might come down to weather we can win in Denver vs. a hot broncos team and winning in Minnesota where the Bears are like 2-8 the last 10 years (not counting last year) in a loudass dome with our banged up o-line and inexperienced backup QB.

 

Sorry for sounding pretty pessimistic. I guess this is the other shoe dropping for having almost no major injuries last year. In the last 2 weeks we've lost likely our best offensive line player and the most indispensable part of our offense (and our long snapper). We missed our #1 WR for 5 weeks, our #1 safety for 3-4 weeks (ok it was Chris Harris but whatever). Thankfully the defense has remaining mostly healthy. Look for a lot of 13-10 wins (hopefully) the rest of the year.

I could see the Bears winning all of those games actually.

Most Packer and Lions fans are too nice to gloat, but you know they are loving this right now.

They know modzilla is a Bears fan.

The Bears have already shown they can beat a good team with barely any offense. They'll have to lean on the defense more (and the D gets their mulligan today for the middle quarters), but it's not as if the offense was lights out to begin with.

 

Canie is a better option than Todd Collins was last year.

But we still have yet to see what Hanie can do when the defense isn't playing a prevent style on him. The only way the Bears could get Orton is if Denver released him right?
